of all the great teams & players king h.s. had over the 30 year span, they all went to the next level & sucked! from efrem winters, on down to that leon smith kid who went pro right outta high school, marcus liberty...who by the way is a really cool brother. got worked out by walter bond & laphonso ellis in high school, & they both had better NBA careers than he did & he was #1 in the nation at that time! dude was kinda soft. jamie brandon, rashard griffith could not adjust beyond h.s. ball
Thats wassup, But yeah they had alot of talent out there and none of em went pro. and even my peeps from Dunbar, they use to talk about how soft juwan howard was but he made it and they didnt
@cmcelvaine Actually, Rashard Griffith did play pro...in Europe! I was on vacation in Italy like 10 years ago and saw him play on tv at a cafe...that was an unexpected treat.
LOL! the best basketball player from king to ever have a decent pro career was johnny harris SAFETY FOR THE OAKLAND RAIDERS!!!!!!! (:0

@cmcelvaine you would be amazed at how mature Johnnie Selvie is now. He is coaching basketball. he grew up a lot at New Mexico State.

Jamie Brandon should have made it to the league. He was an awesome high school baller! Should have wound up at Illinois.

Didn't have the grades for Illinois and hurt his knee at LSU. Then came the women issues just like Pierre Pierce. He was Dwayne Wade before Wade.
